Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted July 25, 2013 Well, I'm certainly not the most famous forum member around, but I've noticed something odd lately. Nearly every server I go to, two or three people will ask me if I'm the actual Cap'n from the forums. Now, I have a massive ego and it gets to me when stuff like this happens(which is why I want my Cap'ns Crunchy Nuts to become an item in-game). However, I don't contribute as much as some people and give as much of my time to make this a better game. That makes me wonder, what has caused these people to point me out, when I could be just anyone else? I've only been on this forum since November/December, so I haven't been around as long as some people on this forum. And I think there are others that deserve a little more credit than me. I think its just because I act like a flamboyant idiot, used Terry Crews as my avatar(and thus, everyone believes I'm black :P), and every now then ask serious questions and make serious suggestions. But I feel like my silliness has overshadowed my ideas and my interest in improving the game. For example, me and Levisky were having a nice conversation over side chat, and we would be interrupted by one of two things; Hey, *insert name* here, I know you from the forums! Or; GET THE FUCK OFF SIDECHAT. And I think that kind of thing got to me, like I suddenly thought I had become an icon among all and I should wear it out everywhere I went. But, alas, it is simply my ego. The people who point me out are usually newer-ish members or active members, and only a fraction of people who play DayZ are actually forum members. So, I feel like I don't deserve this recognition as much as some others do. There are people with really good ideas, that could really improve the game. And they deserve some recognition, but they usually don't. So who gets pointed out? Me, a idiot who can't run his mouth and gets the support of some noobs. So, I think forum "fame" is a bad thing. For me, at least. So, who do you think deserves some more recognition among people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) It's not the amount of stuff you post, but what people notice/remember you by.Having 10k posts doesn't automatically make you popular. Nor does it make you a good forum member.(Spammers don't tend to stay in the good light.) 700 posts is a number that could easily get you stuck in people's minds, as long as you say either funny things, or things many agree with. Edit; +1 vote for Capn's Cruncy Nuts.Edit2; 5 people give me beans, and nobody pointed out my typo? The hell guys? "Yould" instead of "could" shouldn't be acceptable from me.

boneboys 7988 Posted July 25, 2013 I had a bunch of heroes and bandits shout at me on a server "IM GONNA KICK YOUR NAZI SS ASS!" I'm recognised as a Grammar Nazi, or a Nazi, unfortunately on every server I go on... So I would say I'm infamous... That's because your whole short life on these Forums have reflected the image that you project. So, "unfortunately" is not really the term you should use. I'm going to tell you here and now that if you don't change your tune, short will be the active word. It's up to you. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m.cab 83 Posted July 25, 2013 No offense Cap'n (i like you!) but its not that hard to get recognized these days since the vanilla dayz community went pretty small and on the forums there are no more then about ~25 ppl who post regulary (mods included). So when ppl look around here they will notice ppl who post a lot. btw in my oppinion your fame at least doubled at the moment you took the Flash Gordon Avatar! :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
